THE Baltimore County Journal
complains of the present mode of
giving out the State Printing and
thinks it should be changed and
suggests that the Legislature APP
point II superintendent, who shall
have full supervision Of the work at a
fair compensation. Wo hope what
ever the Legislature does it will
not change the mode of giving ont
the printing. The State has saved
thousands of dollars under the pres
ent system of doing the work, and
at no time since the passage of the
present Act has the Legislative
printing cost the State ne-half what
it did before, with all of the extras
thrown in. The old system of APP
poiuti.g a State Printer was one
of the sweetest political sugar plums
within Tie gift of the Legislature.
Think Of the Legislative Printing
costing the State for ten consecutive
years SIS, 900, which is now
done by responsible Baltimore
printer. for $6.940; and for the
faithful performance of which he
secures the State to the amount of
$50. 900 The highest odd for this
work this year aid not reach $12.-
QUO. There is no hitch in the law
nor no "hocus pocus," about it,
Mr.. Journal. 1t is given out fair
II aud squarely. The law specifies
what is to be done very minutely-
aud no man bids for the work blind
folded all the bidders were
practical printers with a full knowl-
edge of their business. The present
law might be improved-but We
hope the Legislature will never
change the mode of giving ont the
work. Ii there is to be any change
in the law it should he for the es

should be done. This would be the
proper thing for the Legislature to

TO denounce Trusts of all kinds
as odious monopolies, and then to
deprecate and oppose legislation
that would effectively cure the evil,
appears to be the habit of many pro
tectionist organs. These abnormal
aud monstrous excrescences upon
the American commercial body
have taken root and multiplied sim
ply because they have been secured
by high tariff from competition
from without. But the people of a
free Republic are not going to sit
quietly by while this new plutocracy
of corporate aggregation are appro
priating all the substance of the
land and the fruits of productive
industry. There must be reckon
ing day, and the Trusts are likely
to fare hardly when it shall come.

your fancy, or, better still, one woman if
you desire her above all others; third,

TIE GREAT MAN.

Completely overcome by this last remark,
Hans collapsed like jelly fish out of water,
and reflected in his worthless old heart that
Frank Muller was indeed IA devil of man. 4"
By this time they had reached the door of the
little house and were dismounting, and in all
other minute Hans found himself in the pres
ence of one of the leaders of the rebellion.
He was short, ugly man of about So, with
big nose, small eyes, straight hair and a
stoop. The forehead, however, was good.
and the whole face betrayed keenness and
ability far beyond the average. The great
man was seated at plain deal table, writing
something with evident difficulty upon a
dirty sheet Of paper, and smoking a very
large pipe.
"Sit, heeren, Sit" he said when they en-
tered, waving the stem of his pipe toward a
deal bench. Accordingly they sat down with
out even removing their hats, and, pulling
out their pipes, proceeded to light them.
"How, in the name of God, do you spell
'excellencyP" asked the general, presently
~ have spelled it in four different ways, and
each one looks worse than the last"
Frank Muller gave the required informa-
ton. Hans in his heart thought he spelled it
wrong, but he did not dare to say So Then
came another pause, only interrupted by the
slow scratching OF quill across the dirty
paper, during which Hans nearly went to
sleep; for the weather was very hot, and he
was tired with his ride.

at his handwriting with an almost childish air
of satisfaction, "that is done. A curse on the

TO AVENGE A NIECE.
A Woman Attacks Her Relatives
Husband With n Whip.

A sensational story of a horse-whip-
ping affair, in which Frederick Sturnegk,
craftsman in the city engineers
Office figured as the victim, was pub
lished yesterday. Two months ago Mr.,
Sturncgk, man of n years
married a servant girl of "a
the niece of Mrs. n. Tscitfili
residing ut the corner of Seventh and
koSabel streets \ week ago an arrange
ment was made by which they sepa-
rated. Mr.. Sturnegk giving lis young
wife Sl60 to quit her claim upon him.
The story of the troubles of their mar
ried life differ. The wife complained
that he did not provide for her, and
sought to Starve her. Mr.. Sturnegk says
that she was indOlent, and would not do
the work of Il housewife. She spent the
time at her aunt's house, and did not
get the meals or keep their rooms in
order at 22S East Seventh street. He
complained and she talked back, until
the breach widened and they separated
by mutual agreement. The woman
who attacked Sturnegk ON Monday
night was Mrs. lSchiflelli, his wife'S
aunt, who says her motive was to
avenge the wrong done her niece. She
waited for him at the corner OF Franklin
ard Seventh streets that evening, Strik-
ing him severe blow across the face
with Il horse-whip she had concealed
under her apron. He ran to avoid a
scene, and she was too corpulent to give
